This is a smooth, pureed tomato product that contains no added salt. It is made from ripe tomatoes that have been cooked down and strained to create a thick sauce. The absence of salt makes it a versatile ingredient for those watching their sodium intake or for recipes where salt is added separately to control the flavor profile. It is a pantry staple for many home cooks.
